Check the spark plug leads, I was getting this. Get someone to watch the leads where they go into the engine while you turn it over, and you might see a spark (be better in the dark). If you see a spark you need to change the leads

any engine management light on?
most of the answers above are pure guesswork, thats all it will ever be when you ask this type of question over the internet. a faulty sensor is likely to be the cause but could be any one, if theres no management light on then get it onto a diagnostic computer and check the values from each sensor is within the parameters of 'normal' operation.
dont just buy sensors because people on here are taking a wild guess that they think they know whats wrong.
